IN COLIN’S OWN WORDS …
The capital markets, despite their jargon and their scientific pretensions, are profoundly human institutions. They can seem complex, dull, and intimidating, but there’s always a way in, and for me, that way has always been a story. Finding the right way to tell those stories is important for the reader and for the markets themselves, as it makes these markets less daunting and confusing. Market forces affect us all more than they did 20 years ago. So these stories are a way to understand what’s happening to us, and perhaps to change it.
